Oh, most certainly. Even those who are blessed with natural talent need time to grow into that talent and magic is a wild force. Sometimes even natural talent and training are not enough to completely bend it to your will. [Perhaps this attitude that accounts for some of Regis' skill with using his magic. He holds great respect for it instead of just looking at it as some kind of mindless tool.]

Even so, Regis does remember some disapproving looks being shot in the king's direction. No one might have said anything about his unrealistic expectations of his young son, but that did not mean they approved of them, something Regis would learn once he was older.]
